We are sorry we have to do this but we want to protect ourselves, and our customers, from internet fraud so we work to the highest levels of security.

If you are an international customer please be aware that PayPal is the best form of transaction or by using Visa credit cards which are enrolled in the Verified by Visa programme (3D Secure). International customers may receive an additional email when we receive the order. This is to confirm identity and delivery address due to increased security procedures required for overseas transactions. Normally we will require a copy of a current utilities bill or bank statement showing either the billing or delivery address.
